BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to fisherman gloves and more specifically it relates to a fisherman gripping glove system for efficiently gripping a fish without requiring usage of a fishing net.

2. Description of the Related Art

Fisherman gloves have been in use for user. Conventional fisherman gloves are comprised of a rubber inside portion with ribbing for facilitating gripping of a fish. However, after grasping the first fish, the inside portion becomes relatively slippery from the oils released from the fish thereby making it difficult to grasp fish thereafter without washing the glove.

While these devices may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they are not as suitable for efficiently gripping a fish without requiring usage of a fishing net. Conventional fisherman gloves do not provide effective gripping of fish, particularly when used with more than one fish.
